Entorhinal and ventromedial prefrontal cortices abstract and generalise the structure of reinforcement learning problems

2019-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Knowledge of the structure of a problem, such as relationships between stimuli, enables rapid learning and flexible inference. Humans and other animals can abstract this structural knowledge and generalise it to solve new problems. For example, in spatial reasoning, shortest-path inferences are immediate in new environments. Spatial structural transfer is mediated by grid cells in entorhinal and (in humans) medial...
